Hearts beginning courtship

Hearts beginning courtship

Dancing candy apples

Winter’s weakened powers

Still rearing and grapples

Yellow dandelions 

Soon grey galaxy stars

Getting caught in a breeze

Like bees fleeing from jars

Wringing April storm clouds

Wringing April storm clouds

Out from under bat wings

Into a wide space of

The emptiness of things

Each stepping day colors 

Blooms rising from a tomb

Pushed like a rushing crowd

One doorway from a room

Off from the straighter line

Off from the straighter line

In the here on a curve

Blind past and future and

Necessity to swerve

Accepting the moment

So many of us arc

Straight lines tangent but we

Set off again, embark

Seeking simplicity

Seeking simplicity 

Today gathering light

This evening counting stars

And here, the rhyme of night

Outside complexity

Find a wandering hum

The flight of bumblebees 

And the absence of drum

Blistering exactness

Blistering exactness

A carpenter’s wedges

Painted clouds versus clouds

My thoughts Rothko edges

Abandoning borders

Past the petulant why

Upward and outward where

Huginn and Muninn fly

Still murky after all

Still murky after all

Rose hip years not rosy

What ifs now why didn’ts

Stark truth versus posey

A borrowed happiness

Returns empty handed

Forfeited days stacking

Not moving and candid

Another boxing day

Another boxing day 

I take the center ring

To only fight myself

A right hook then a swing

I own my own actions

It will make me better

My awareness penning

A self-addressed letter
